It's equalisation. Those in need will get good NGAs. Those doing well will conveniently have no NGAs

Connor Downie was in academy because his mum was a chinese immigrant. Not because of his junior club. Remember NGA is not based on an area like northern academies, you need to be meet the ethnic background requirements too.

Yeah, I know that. I didn't know if Greeves had an eligible background though as I'd never heard of him before and that type of info isn't always readily available. Assuming the IG was accurate and he did meet the NGA criteria then the question was essentially is he is in our NGA zone. Being from the same junior club as a previous Hawthorn NGA player would suggest it was likely.

Cody Anderson - 45 onwards.......
If North Melbourne keeps hold of pick 2, a bid on Ashcroft may be left to Carlton at pick 3 — saving the Lions a significant number of draft points.
Brisbane would have to stump up 2,400 points (after a 20 per cent discount) to match a bid on Ashcroft at pick 1, but a bid at pick 3 would only cost it 1787 points.
It could be the difference between heading into next year with a points deficit or not, given the Lions will also need to match a bid on Academy member Sam Marshall around pick 20.
Clubs expect two other bids to be placed on Academy members within the top-10 selections on draft night, with St Kilda favoured to bid on Gold Coast Suns Academy member Leo Lombard with one of its first two selections.
The Saints (picks 7 and 8) and Melbourne (pick 9) have also been linked to placing an early bid on Essendon Next Generation Academy (NGA) member Isaac Kako.
Carlton will be sweating on whether a bid comes for father-son Ben Camporeale before its second selection at No. 38, with recruiters having the South Australian midfielder either just before or just after that pick on their draft boards.
Twin brother Lucas is expected to come into play later in the order.
St Kilda NGA member Adrian Cole is considered likely to attract a bid in the late 30s or early 40s, after St Kilda’s third selection which currently stands at No. 32.
Giants Academy ruckman Logan Smith is also set to come into calculations at that range, with a bid in the 30s considered a good chance.
Some clubs believe Sydney Swans Academy defender Joel Cochran could attract a bid anywhere from pick 25 onwards, with one scout saying the Swans had done “a good job of hiding him away”.
Cochran won the 2km time trial at the national draft combine last month.
Another St Kilda NGA member, defender Lennox Hofmann, is expected to receive a bid later in the draft, while Hawthorn NGA midfielder Cody Anderson is also said to have “lots of fans” from about pick 45 onwards.
Adelaide father-son prospect Tyler Welsh has attracted little interest, despite scouts recognising the marking forward’s potential.
The Crows are therefore likely to be able to secure Welsh — the son of former Adelaide goalkicker Scott — with their second and final pick in the draft, which currently sits at No. 64.
North Melbourne should be able to secure River Stevens — the son of two-time premiership player Anthony — as a rookie.
WHERE THE BIDS ARE SET TO COME
Reigning premier Brisbane is set to avoid paying top dollar for father-son gun Levi Ashcroft, with Richmond looking increasingly unlikely to place a bid on the midfielder at No. 1 in this month’s national draft.If North Melbourne keeps hold of pick 2, a bid on Ashcroft may be left to Carlton at pick 3 — saving the Lions a significant number of draft points.

I get that there are outside considerations associated with #1, but surely North Melbourne are morally obligated to ensure the REIGNING PREMIER forks over as much draft currency as possible for Ashcroft.
And it goes without saying that Essendon should never be given a break.

North bid on Walter at 2 last year too.
I guarantee you that if the AFL took away the prize money for the kid that goes 1st then more teams would do it
HOW HAWKS TIED BULL WAS DUBBED ‘BEAST FROM THE EAST’
They call him the ‘Beast from the East’.Well, since the beginning of this year at least.
Bullocking inside midfielder Cody Anderson, who lives 65 kilometres east of Melbourne’s CBD in Healesville, still isn’t quite sure how the nickname came up.
But the Hawthorn Next Generation Academy prospect suspects it was prominent player agent Nick Gieschen and his brother, Rhy, a recruiter with Richmond.
“I don’t know how it actually came up, I think it might have been Nick Gieschen that came up with it or his brother,” Anderson said with a smile.
“And then my manager got onto it and it kind of went from there and then there was a couple of articles and stuff, and then that’s just what it was.”
The Eastern Ranges product certainly lives up to the name with his strong frame and his fierce intent at the contest.
And his unique work outside of footy has seen him become even more physically imposing.
Finishing school last year, Anderson has been working with his uncle most of the week as a tree arborist.
But he has stayed out of the trees, not wanting to put a potential AFL career in jeopardy.
“I’m on the ground crew, so they all climb and I usually drag the branches and cut the branches and just a lot of cutting and dragging I guess,” Anderson said.
When Anderson isn’t cutting branches, he is crunching opponents with tackles and bumps.
Anderson averaged six tackles per game at the Ranges along with 23 disposals, 12 contested possessions and six clearances.
It should come as no surprise that the manchild fit in seamlessly in his VFL debut at Hawthorn, where he booted two goals and won 16 disposals.
Anderson also racked up a whopping 48 disposals in one senior game for Healesville in the past.
Midfielders his size are typically slow, but Anderson point-of-difference is his speed, recording a top-10 finish in the 20 metre sprint at the Coates Talent League pre-season testing day in the pre-season.
Unfortunately a syndesmosis blow in the opening minutes of his first national championships game sidelined Anderson for two months, interrupting his strong season to date.
But he still has plenty of fans despite the Hawks having first dibs on him.
“I managed to get back for two games just before finals, which I was probably underdone, but I just wanted to get back to help my team in finals,” Anderson said.
“We got done, so it was good to just play again.”
Anderson has shared the centre square at the Ranges with another midfield bull in Josh Smillie.
He believes the 195cm midfielder is worthy of being taken with the number one pick in the draft.
“It has been really good. I’m really hoping he goes one, he deserves it,” Anderson said.
“We grew up playing, we’ve been at Eastern since we were 16, we were the two youngest there, and gone through together.
“So it’s been really good and we’ve got a good friendship.”

Clearly not much influence.
They bid on him 1 pick later
Almost 300 points difference. Handy for Gold Coast.

Heard the club held some sort of nga/father son camp/comp over the weekend and crawf’s kid kicked a couple of goals
Academy and F/S players shouldn't forfiet their rights to prize money from the pick when they don't go in the open draft.
